Back from China trip ..

Day 1 - I reached the tournament arena , played abit on the tournament setups and realise the timing was pretty weird , seems to have abit of slight input lag. But well i know i just have to adapt to it , follow up was the friendly tournament of 5v5 . Internationals were in a team which consist of me , poongko , mike ross , combofiend and sako. We fought till the very end and lost in the grand finals against team china team consist of xiaohai , dakou and ah bao. I managed to get 1st win as they send me off first facing a honda , after i won the honda , xiaohai (small kid) yun came along , it came down to the last pixel of the last game and i lost. After which sako get in and won xiaohai , next team china sent out ah bao(yang) and basically ocv the rest of our team , thats the end and i went back together with the hk guys and head out to eat some really good food, HK people really knows where are the good food ahahhahahaha

Day 2 - Headed to play the tournament , played against followupursf from hk for the first game , had a really tough fight but managed to sneak off a win. Next was yun ... then yun .. then yun again .. LOL .. so my day ended going into the top 16 for the next day , alot of internationals didnt manage to get out of the pools because there were so many yun , yang and feilong lol.. After that went back to the hotel to slack for awhile before heading off with the hk guys to 1 of the clubs to drink , had alot of fun with them , they were very nice.. Gameouttt , Lin lao , sl hiro , kenny and more ....

Recently thanks to my friend yong de , who borrowed me a laptop ^_^I got alot more free time on the computer ;) So i decide to blog about matchupknowledge for people to know more about their characters and wat they can do ^_^Today i will be blogging about YUN VS SAGAT

Yun jump forward mk is short and fast , abuse it occasionally as its hard for sagat to uppercut on reaction , gives big reward as well if sagat throws a tiger shot ..

Yun must always anti air against sagat random jump in's , or when sagat tries to jumpout of the corner , keep alert at all times ..

Good Sagat players always uses ex tiger knee to push out of corner ..

Sagat players likes to do kara tiger knee or uppercut to punish yun from full screen after throwing tiger shots , Yun's user should prevent jumping forward or dive kickforward too much to get in , walk slowly ocasionally using FA dash to absorb tiger shots ..

Sagat's Uppercut loses to Yun's EX upkicks and LK upkicks , however trades or winmost of the time with MK and HK upkicks ..

Lastly , Yun players should restrain on using too much dive kicks on Sagat becausegood sagat players will start throwing high lp tiger shots to prevent it , Dive kick ocasionally and hitting on the lower part of the body is important for frame advantage ..

Yun's Backdash with timing (strict) also allows you to bait Sagat tiger uppercut andmake it whiffs completely thus punishing it , Practice hard on this ^_^

Friday, 23 September 2011

I am so happy because i finally found a job ^_^My friend Yong de opening a game/lan shop soon in november :)Thanks alot for hiring me , i really appreciate it and i will do my best ^_^That will be after Canada cup though :) which means i can go for canada cup !!Thanks alot to Lapchi (Canada cup gaming ) for inviting singapore this year :)Tickets were really expensive and i wanted to thanks lapchi for sponoring halfand our lodging/accomdations over there :) (Though i still figuring out how to getthe other half LOL ~_~) , it will also be me playing Gen internationally for the first time :)

AE2012 beta changes will be uploaded soon in Cross counter asia (tomorrow) probably ^_^ Check it out i hope you guys will like it :)But over here i gotta talk more deep about Gen changes in AE2012 till now :)

GEN

Not significant buffs i will not be talking :(Crane Crouching Hard Kick has 8 active frames instead of 3 now ;)Anti-Air will be alot easier (wont whiff because press too early)Although i have been using more of Crouching Hp as anti-air, now i dontneed to change my stance back to Mantis just for anti-air purpose :)Remaining in the Crane stance allows me to move/walk faster so i like this buff ^_^

Hard Kick Gekiro (Crazy!!)

Untechable knockdown , I really looking forward to this because that means afterevery Oga divekick or Super combo followup with Hk Gekiro , there will be alot alotmore setups to be discover , Example safe jumps , crossup Oga dive kick(Maybe?) , ambigious jump in setups ^_^ So much more ;) More damage as well of course :)

Ex Jyasen (Mysterious)

It can be really strong , or rather not much difference because i dont know how the movement will be like :( However +8 on hit (not significant) because i would probablyFADC only on hit confirm :( Normal Jyasen +6 is good enough for me :( However ,On block it will be +3 which means i may use this move often to apply more pressureand block strings , its still very good !! :)

Jyasen (OMG !!!)

I really love this , because right now i cant do this move in AE against alot of characters like Thawk , Zangief , Yang , Yun and soo much more because its -3 andthese characters have command grab (2 frames or less) or 3 frame attacks to punishme after they block , So changing into +2 on block makes so much differences asi can still setup frame traps like standing mp (Mantis) against my opponent to catch counter hits or alot more !! ^_^
I dont usually FADC with gen because i think Gen super bar is very important :)However, with Jyasen +6 on block i will start using FADC probably because it will dealalot of damage i presume about (300++) damage? Most importantly its a 2 frame linkwith no tough shit like (*Piano*) , so its harder to drop , yesssssssssssssss!!!

Mantis Ultra2 (Shitenketsu)

For anybody who doesnt know , i dont like using this ultra at all :(It doesnt give me guaranteed damage and its hard to link from EX hands :(However , changing it to 7 frames may change into using it :) Especially its possiblefor anti-air purposes ^_^

Level 1 Focus Attack (Mantis Style)

More reason for me to use level 1 FA? Distance is good and doesnt put me on negative frame :)

Level 1 Focus Attack (Crane Style)

This change will give me a reason to use level 1 FA (crane) because i dont use it atall because of shorter range compared to Mantis :) However , on block its on 0 framewhich means on hit will gives me an advantage? That will be really good for pressuring opponents and i will look out more into how to start using it ^_^

EX Oga

Gives me more reason to use as the damage increased from 100 to 150 :)Far kick being faster depending on how fast? If its really fast then using it as anambush to get near , or while block footies into fireball? We shall see :)

Wednesday, 21 September 2011

After much rest , i am back to shoot more cross counter asia !!It will be release this 2 days though :)I am really interested if they are any more buffs in Gen ^_^Additional new changes in AE 2012 is so interesting ..I hope will upload the cross counter asia episode soon ^_^But over here i will say i few very strong points that i notice :)Strong points that really changes alot for the characters ;)

Buffs

Blanka Ex Vertical Roll (Up ball)

This move now caused knockdown on hit , this really changes the gameplay forBlanka i felt .. Because no matter in Vanilla , Super or AE , when you get Blanka intothe corner , Ex upball doesnt really exist as an option :( Why?Because even if blanka ex upball on wakeup and hits opponent , alot of charactersstill able to punish Blanka very serverly :( Few got examples is Ryu Super , Cammy'sUltra or Super , Adon Ultra 1 , Dhalsim Ultra 2 , Sagat Ultra 2 and alot alot alot more :(However , Now you really need to respect this option of Blanka because it gets a knockdown. Which kind of means that he can get out of the corner by jumping outafter hitting you on the Ex Ball :(Blanka now have another good option to get out of situations instead of only theEx rainbow rolling attack .... This is gotta be a disaster for characters like zangiefand T-hawk and maybe more 0_oIt does have some bad point though , which it lands nearer on block :( Which meansits not that advisable to do it on wakeup midscreen , because very easy to punishon block , but compared to the buff , This is gotta be really good for Blanka :)It may be one of the best charge turtle character ^_^

E.Honda

E.Honda buff of Hp hundred hand slap (HHS)

I think it will open up more damage option for Ehonda :)Crouching light kick x2 , crouching light punch into HHS now possible with full hitsprobably , this is quite good in my option :)Random crouching lp into HHS will get more damage as well , more hits and maybeanother possible Hk for extra damage ^_^

Quite tired cos i am actually out for the whole day :(So i gotta sum it up abit :(I think Ryu , Guile , Rufus , Dhalsim and Gouken received significant buffs too ^_^Lets check out more updates tomorrow !!I am hype for more Gen's buff !! :)Watch Cross Counter Asia for more about the changes ;)I will upload it as soon as it is released this 2 days ^_^Cheers ^_^

Finally reach japan !!Not very used typing on this computer so i will cut everything short >.<Thanks jinki for housing me and taking good care of me ^^Trying really hard to stay strong but being alone most of the time in this country doesnt help :(

I did very badly against Nemo and Fuudo :(The Sagat was pretty amazing , The way they throw tiger shotsseems to have a pattern on opponent wake up ;)Very trickybecauseYun could hardly jump over or dive kick in ;)To make it simple , they knew the right distance to throw the high tiger shotand i cant do anything at that distances , Very good fake crossup lk ;)

Mao She ( Ultimate master abel ) amazes me the most ..Their block strings were very unpredicable and forward mk too ..The movement of his abel was very fast as well ..Very solid choices of escape when defending too ;)

Mago was very nice !! He bought me a yun card ;)Itabashi also offered to bring me around to the best sushi and ramen ;)I didnt go though , cos i didnt have much to spend and i already eaten ;(But still thanks !! @_@
